Nope. I saw it, and replied in message Message-ID:

Can't hurt :-)

Yes. That's correct.

Hmmmm.... not according to MSDN. Many of the MSDN "how to write network
code" documents that I looked at (prior to my initial answer) include the
htons() call as part of their example code. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms737625(VS.85).aspx
or
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738557(VS.85).aspx
or
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3thek09d(VS.80).aspx
for example.

Such is the way of cross-platform code.

I'm glad you got your code working on Linux, and know how to keep it going
on both Linux and Windows.

Glad to have been some help, as well.
